About Hopetown
Bob Hope bought the Corriganville ranch in 1965, and the subdivision called Hopetown was built in the mid-1990s on a parcel near the park entrance. Most homes are two-story, about 1,200 to 2,130 square feet, on lots of roughly 4,100 to 5,900 square feet. It is also known as California Hopetown, and a homeowners association formed in 1995.
